Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) criticized President Biden for taking “cheap shots” against Republicans during his State of the Union address Thursday night. Romney praised the bits of Biden’s speech that covered foreign policy, when the president spoke about the importance of helping Ukraine and getting humanitarian aid into Gaza. But the Utah senator was not a fan of the way the president addressed domestic policy and his criticism of GOP lawmakers. Romney pointed to “promises” that Biden will not be able to deliver on since he won’t have Republican backing in Congress, and accused the commander in chief of falsely...

Columnist David Hon might not be an underwear model, but he knows what he wants in a relationship -- and what he doesn't: irrational hatred of his DNA.Last week, Hon penned a column titled "Why I'll Never Date A Feminist." In response, feminists ... well, they proved his opinion to be a wise one.Wrote Hon: If you look for a reason to hate men, chances are you’re going to find it. The truth is, I don’t blame women, (especially in my generation) for hating men. They’ve been told there’s a wage gap (I disagree). That there’s a culture of rape...

Today in Indiana Carly Fiorina represented the visible metaphor for the Ted Cruz campaign when she literally fell off the stage – and Ted Cruz ignored her distress. You can’t make this stuff up folks:

Tory MPs were furious yesterday after a film depicting Baroness Thatcher as a has-been with dementia was given a £1million taxpayer-funded grant. The Film Council handed out the cash in what some see as a final insult to the Government days before ministers reveal how the quango will be wound down. Conservative MPs hit out at the use of taxpayers’ funds for what appears to be a political hatchet job. The former Tory Prime Minister, now 85, is portrayed as stricken with dementia and full of regret over what many believe were courageous political decisions. She is also shown speaking...

It's easy for New York politicians to pronounce against Arizona's new illegal-alien law. They're 2,000 miles away from the socially corrosive consequences of a failed economy -- and a raging, narcotics-fueled border war that has already claimed some 23,000 lives. But just imagine how sanguine they'd be if a half-million poverty-wracked economic refugees flooded the city from Canada -- or, maybe more to the point, from New Jersey. And if the federal government refused to enforce existing immigration laws. Not very, we imagine. So they blithely call for anti-Arizona boycotts and divestment. And ugly allusions to South African apartheid roll...

stingray barb through the chest - was a victim of 'voyeuristic wildlife TV', fellow experts said today. As tributes poured in for the quirky 44-year-old, survival expert Ray Mears said his death was a "sobering lesson". Mears said the Australian's death was a tragedy and his heart went out to his family. But he added that it proved "some things in nature should be left alone". He said: "He clearly took a lot of risks and television encouraged him to do that. "It's a shame that television audiences need that to be attracted to wildlife. "Dangerous animals, you leave them...

Colonel Olson knows first hand how important properly equipped vehicles can be when it comes to a soldier's survival. Olson said, "The doors work. They work real well."The doors Olson mentioned are armored doors that are installed on Humvees and other vehicles used by troops. At the Watervliet Arsenal, armor kits for those doors are assembled and shipped overseas. Olson said, "We need to do everything we can for this. We are here. We're working around the clock to make sure we can produce to our max-capacity for the doors." As a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Senator...

CBS on Sunday gave air time to a broadside against Rush Limbaugh which impugned him as a racist afraid of anyone who is non-white doing well and suggested that Limbaugh’s “edgy” attitude is Hitlerian. On CBS’s Sunday Morning show Nancy Giles, identified as a “contributor” to the program, charged that Limbaugh lives in “a world where when anyone other than conservative, white men attempts to do anything or enter any profession, be it business, politics, art or sports, the only reason they're allowed entry or incredibly attain excellence is because the standard was lowered. Be they liberals, people of color,...

The Democrats have a long and sordid history of launching last-minute cheap shot 'October Surprises' right before elections. I'm hoping that we can use this thread to develop a comprehensive list of all of their 'October Surprises', so that we can not only confront them with it each time they try this garbage, but more importantly remind and educate the general public about how this is an unscrupulous cornerstone of Democrat election strategy. Most people have no idea how much of a pattern there is of this. Of course we have Arnold, and we remember the Bush DWI. Wasn't that...
